Landscape and Visual Clause Samples
Landscape and Visual. The pilot demonstration advanced treatment plant and the associated facilities would all be located within the boundary of the SWHSTW at an open space in the North- western corner. The alignment of the associated distribution piping would be along existing footpath/roads. In view of the small scale and the temporary nature of the works, landscape and visual impacts will be small, localised and short-term.
Landscape and Visual. In view of the small scale of this Project, no adverse landscape and visual impacts are expected during the construction phase.
Landscape and Visual. 3.1.5.1. A few trees in the vicinity of the site might be affected by the proposed works. In addition, potential landscape and visual impacts during the construction phase may arise from the construction plant and materials, spoil heaps, site traffic and on-site lighting.
Landscape and Visual. The Ngong Ping STP and Sewerage EIA assessed the landscape and visual impacts during the operation of Ngong Ping STP and the associated pipeworks.
Landscape and Visual. 3.8.1 The scale of ARQ Development, particularly ex-quarry barren land, will inevitably result in some landscape and visual impacts; which have been minimized through careful consideration of the layout plans for the development incorporate design mitigation measures such as, creation of new Quarry Park, creation of new open space and green spines, creation of, pedestrian corridors and breezeways, retention of views to ridgelines at strategic level, preservation of the Tai Sheung Tok Hill Rock Face as landmark for Kowloon East, aesthetic design of roads and streetscapes and provision of compensatory planting proposals, in the development. It is considered that the urban planning scheme on ARQ Development will have enhancement to both landscape and visual perspective.
3.8.2 Based on a very broad brush estimate, approximately 1,100 existing trees will be impacted by ARQ Development, of which approximately 1,021 no. of trees will be felled and 79 no. of trees will be transplanted. Approximately 5,000 nos. of trees will be planted within new open spaces and approximately 1,000 nos. of trees will be planted for new roadside amenity to compensate for the loss of existing trees. The overall residual impact on trees is considered acceptable with mitigation measures and in the longer term beneficial.

Landscape and Visual. The effluent reuse facilities would all be located within the boundary of the Ngong Ping STP site and the alignment of the associated distribution piping would be along existing roads. In view of the small scale of the works, these impacts will be small, localised and short-term.
Landscape and Visual. 3.2.5.1. A few existing trees might be affected by the Project. The superstructure of the pumping station may generate landscape and visual impacts. By adopting proper mitigation measures such as dedicated landscape design to match with the exiting environment, compensatory planting, etc., the residual landscape and visual impact would be minimal as anticipated.

Landscape and Visual. 5.5.1 The trees in the vicinity of the Project site are of common species and no endangered species have been identified. Tree protection measures and transplanting, if necessary, would be adopted as far as practicable to prevent damage to existing trees during the construction phase. Proposals for tree felling, if necessary, will be submitted to District Lands Officer/Sha Tin and other relevant authorities for approval. The potential impacts from the construction plant, site traffic, etc would be minimized by erection of temporary hoarding. Spoil heaps and C&D materials would be removed off site promptly.
5.5.2 Landscaping work and screening would be provided to enhance the appearance of the pumping station. Architectural aspects including colour scheme, types of external finishing and layout of the infrastructures would be designed with consideration of visual harmony between the pumping station and the surrounding environment. The structure would also be restricted to single-storey high.
